AndyM3000 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Not a red. So many tackles like that you'll be giving them out every other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Any money Villa won't even appeal it That should tell you that it was indeed a red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Watched it again on MOTD and I saw nothing to sway my original belief that it was a justified red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Won't be appealed because it was a red. If that wasn't given against us we'd be livid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It was an inbetween one. we won't appeal not because it was a nailed on red but because its pointless and it won't be rescinded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benireduk Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 If that wasn't given against us we'd be livid. Disagree. Booking at worst for me. And I remember Sanchez making a very similar challenge v Swansea that he got a yellow for. Did you see Clint Hill's tackle today that he got booked for? Now that WAS a red. Two footed off the floor and reckless. Just shows how inconsistent referees are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I think he treads on his foot and then slips which makes it look a nasty tackle They won't rescind it I'd be fuming if that wasn't given against us, but I've seen worse tackles this season, the one on Westwood for example, in both the Leicester game and the spurs game, neither of them were reds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted December 29, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2014 Anybody else see him walk away from the man he should have tracked on our right in the first few minutes even though he was the closest player? Set the tone for what was a very uncommitted, listless performance from him right up to the sending off. I get the feeling he was dreaming of playing elsewhere...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I think it's a 50/50 red. You can argue that it was a red, so some will agree and some will disagree. Unlike Gabby's red, this one is not as clear cut. Even if we appeal, it won't get overturned because it was a dangerous play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I think that, if that's a red, a lot more red cards need to be shown. For instance, the tackle by the Leicester player on Westwood. He tried to get the ball but missed it and could have seriously injured our player. The referees simply need to be more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 that is why he will never be a top midfielder* because he cant tackle, though slightly harsh that card has been coming for a while though his tackling is terrible *before people say Paul Scholes couldnt tackle its not even worth comparing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Birmingham Mail reckon we are going to appeal this. Would be amazed if it was allowed, best we could hope for is a reduction on the ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Birmingham Mail reckon we are going to appeal this. Would be amazed if it was allowed, best we could hope for is a reduction on the ban. I don't think a ban reduction is an option of the appeal process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Harsh red card no doubt about it when considering some refereeing decisions with the choice of cards of late. Don't think it will get appealed due to him being banged to rights as he's clearly done him (albeit not malicious/dangerous foul play with intent). Wouldn't be surprised if the panel of 135yr olds at the FA charged us with a frivolous appeal just to make an example with an extra game ban.

David-Copenhagen Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 If you watch highlights you can see the ref going for yellow and then getting told by the 4th official that it is a red. For me it is a harsh red, really harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 it was borderline and it won't be rescinded if we appeal, move along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted December 29, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2014 I don't want him to play for us again, hes an overated player that cost us 3 vital points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismail-villa Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It's a 50/50 one imo. I'd have thought it was a standard yellow had I seen it there and then, replays show it to be more likely a red. If we do appeal I doubt it'd be rescinded.
